Nighttubbing 01:53
lyrics
Remember the blues ? Long sick & lascivious Bark at the moon ! Aborted by all the regular rooms I hear your friends calling each other soon Or unfold your wild Nostalgia & shine Baby get high It's time to unwind The regular doom In the bowl of your hands Rotating pain Like spit in the bath Do you ever festoon Your brain in baloons & send it up screaming Straight to the moon ? It comes back so soon Yeah I remember the blues
2.
Cestet 02:01
lyrics
The towers are gone There's blood on the lawn Partying's now The whole of the law Throttle your veins Holy white pain A kiss on your tongue You better run Hey hey hey ! Wet on the floor Crying more more more It's better to stay They give it away The towers are gone There's blood on the lawn Partying's now The whole of the law
3.
Lacuna (Black Wave) 02:49
lyrics
Black wave Black wave coming down ! Black wave Black wave unbound Assemble the few Who's gonna cut me loose ? Glory Glory outgrew No high like a fight you lose Well-worn in the groove This boogie's for you Pristine that long silver beam Birds scream alight naturally Strung out to show We swing down below Black wave Black wave black wave Black wave black wave black wave

Lucky Strikes & Liquid Gold 03:10
lyrics
In the morning O the trials Remembering those red bar lights Take me down On my knees Begging for some quick relief Baby Understand me Got to understand me Got to realize I need those lucky strikes & liquid gold Hey bartend Hit me again Had a fight with my woman She said: —Don't leave me Don't you leave me I went walking out that door Baby Understand me Got to understand me Got to realize I need those lucky strikes & liquid gold O honey Don't take it hard It'll make you sick & it'll make you tired You know my work ends I'm crawling home I got to be back inside that bar again Baby Understand me Got to understand me Got to realize I need those lucky strikes & liquid gold

New Coyote 03:58
lyrics
I'll go it alone Hacking my way down the road I take my time Slide slow They never know Hear 'em shaking their chains Such a cruel cabaret You're down flat as a plate I think it can wait But thirst starts to wind Howling sublime As if life cut the lines To this blood & thine Your piece is obscene Your little routine It shook through my dreams Like a drunk tambourine Author unload In the grim afterglow We're ever alone Where will you go ?
6.
Rolling 02:51
lyrics
Lord I've been rolling like a wheel Lying most mornings about how I feel That's ok We're all dying anyway Let's see how much more I'm gonna take So roll that gold We're under way The routine display ! Grinding down that glory of old Bury your death Who haven't I told ? Midnight mornings stillborn Whip that angel & hear them horns I started young pink & dumb I thought I'd get more done Sitting here another slowly sinking year Tapping & laughing mirroring the fear So roll that gold We're under way The routine display
7.
The Jetty 02:55
lyrics
My friends were online I went for a ride A sinister wind The water was fine— Out deep by the jetty The spiral unwound Soundlessly down !! O to soundlessly drown !! It rushed through my head Burning unbreath Weakness is time— That alchemical lie On the lake bed The waves became mine I'll never be dry I'll never be dry This keeps me alive So keep me alive
8.
Hung & Dried 03:28
lyrics
We’ve hung and dried The black dogs whine It’s dimmer now They're turning down the lights That cold old star Whiskey neon and tar I kicked those keys away The pricks of yesterday A killer’s redress The blood up to our neck Bend your tongue back like a bow Here's one, here's one you’ll know: That old black train's carrying pain How long's that train gonna go? And hell they say is still living today I feel every flaming arrow So I'll take my time This torture is fine I'll strangle my jailers for show And I'll run free Through those gates you'll see I'll kill your god in his home
9.
Lone Torpedo 03:24
lyrics
I've been shaking like a gamma ray Wondering how long I'd take Back from Dallas to this liminal state Thinking about going straight To the red side of town Oblivion calling down It’s the same shit underground The blackouts getting bounced Hey I've seen you around These nights get long and loud Take me back your bride We’ll get good this time Our world’s in bad decline And the days keep rolling by Dragging out a line One more before we cry Drop me on my back And lock the door it’s turning black I need these little lies It's never your last time
